Missing Gecko option

[negberts]

On our build server we get the following error:

This is probably because our build server OS is not supported? I saw this line of code:

if (GeckoDriver.supports(os.type(), os.arch())) {

prog.addOption(Opts[Opt.VERSIONS_GECKO]).addOption(Opts[Opt.GECKO]);

}

What can we do to fix it? Issue popped up this morning. Friday everything was working correctly.

I also encountered this issue, first thing this morning.

We're using webdriver-manager as a part of a Angular 2 / Protractor setup, but this should be a general fix / workaround.

The fix has been to manually downgrade to version 10.2.3 (on our CI server) - by deleting the webdriver manager, then downgrading by executing npm i webdriver-manager@10.2.3.

So technically it's not a fix, but it's a workaround.

I'd like to add that we cannot reproduce this on a Windows 10 nor on a MacOS (Sierra) machine, but the build server / CI server, running Windows Server 2012 R2 (x64), on AppVeyor, displays the behaviour described.

[negberts]

Indeed the same here. No problems locally on Windows 10.

[filipesilva]

Having the same issue here myself. Cannot repro on local win10 machine, but getting error on AppVeyor.

[huberchrigu]

Same here. webdriver-manager update works on Unix but fails on Windows due to the undefined options[Opt.GECKO].

[didlich]

it's not only on Windoofs but also on Linux, our server is an Ubuntu Precise (12.04)

webdriver-manager/built/lib/cmds/update.js:63
    var gecko = options[Opt.GECKO].getBoolean();

TypeError: Cannot read property 'getBoolean' of undefined

[didlich]

it seems that 32-Bit systems are not supported, see lib/binaries/gecko_driver.ts

static supports(ostype: string, arch: string): boolean {
    return arch == 'x64' && (ostype in GeckoDriver.suffixes);
}

it seems that geckodriver has support for 32-Bit beginning with version v0.11.0, but default geckoriver is v0.9.0 as stated in config.json

to support 32-Bit the config.json bust be changed to support the latest geckodriver and "supports" function has to check for 32-Bit and suffixes must include something like Linux32 and Windows_NT32

[didlich]

there is also a PR, which solves the problem for people who have 32-Bit ARCH, but don't use geckodriver:
https://github.com/angular/webdriver-manager/pull/105/files
i.e., we use only the chromedriver for testing, which is running fine on linux32, but we have the problem that the error mentioned above prevents the webdriver-manager to finish the update execution, so https://github.com/angular/webdriver-manager/pull/105/files will solve our problem

I have the same issue on debian 7 (32 bit). Is there a workaround for this? Because this issue stops my whole development process, as branches whose CI builds fail, cannot be merged to master.

[hampa-git]

I have the same issue on Windows 7 but it's a 64-Bit system.

[dustin2524]

Also reproducible on Windows 7 64bit

Because of the new Chrome v54 requiring the chromdriver 2.24 I thought I needed the latest webdriver-manager version but the below workaround works for me and anyone else who is just trying to get latest chromedriver

Workaround: Use previous webdriver-manager version 10.2.3 and specify the chrome and selenium versions when using webdriver-manager, like so:
webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome=2.24 --versions.standalone=2.53.1

@dustin2524 This workaround does not work unfortunately. I then get this error:

[19:24:51] E/direct - Error code: 135

By the way, I don't actually use chrome, but chromium. But it did not make any difference in the past

---

Just found out that the problem is caused by protractor, using its own version of webdriver-manager, which is 10.2.4, ignoring version 10.2.3 which I pinned manually to fix the problem

---

I eventually fixed the problem by removing node_modules and doing a clean reinstall with npm i. So @dustin2524's solution works

[IlyaFinkelshteyn]

Another workaround is to use x64 version of node. For Appveyor, please add the following into appveyor.yml.

environment:
  nodejs_version: "Stable"
install:
  - ps: Install-Product node $env:nodejs_version x64

Thank you,
Ilya.
